This SNP, located in an intron of the GRIK2
gene, has been linked in one study to increased thoughts of suicide
in patients using the anti-depressant drug citalopram
. The risk is only seen for individuals carrying two rs2518224(C)
alleles, i.e. the rs2518224(C;C)
homozygotes. The odds ratio for these individuals is 8.2. If the individual also has at least one rs4825476(G)
allele, the odds ratio for having suicidal thoughts is increased to ~15x (CI: 3.7 - 60.6). [PMID 17898344
